KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Low-A Greensboro right-hander Ramon Del Orbe was hospitalized and diagnosed with multiple skull fractures after being struck by a line drive during Tuesday’s game against West Virginia.

Del Orbe, 21, was still in stable condition in intensive care Wednesday. A neurosurgeon was evaluating whether he would require surgery. Del Orbe sustained a depressed fracture of the right occipital bone and second depressed fracture in the same vicinity.

In 23 starts for the Grasshoppers, Del Orbe was 5-8 with a 4.75 ERA, 41 walks and 77 strikeouts in 115 2/3 innings. The Marlins signed him as a non-drafted free agent out of the Dominican Republic in 2008. He spent his first two seasons with the Marlins’ Dominican Summer League team before advancing to the Gulf Coast League Marlins and short-season Class-A Jamestown in 2011 and 2012, respectively.
